With our gloomy forecast in mind, I spent the day prepping for a downpour - just in case. Got everything buttoned up f
or some drizzle at the least. Did an early morning laundry and supply run to Study Butte. Had breakfast at the Motor Inn Cafe - just like old times. Last year, as I was building and before I got my phone and DSL line, I would have Sunday breakfast and free wifi ( to get caught up on my email ) at the cafe. Clouds started rolling in and the wind picked up just as my cloths finished drying on my solar dryer ( clothes line ). Wind has been howling all afternoon and evening (20-25mph) which is good because my battery bank by the turbines is due for a full recharge. Let it rain....

Wow...I am still wondering how a quarter of an inch of rain can translate into filling a 3000 gallon tank, but that is why you are the expert here.
Thanks for answering a question I had as to how you were able to access the internet without electricity or a phone line when you first started building your house.
One inch of rain falling on one square foot of surface area yeilds .65 gallons of water. There are MILLIONS of square feet of desert surface out here that funnel into some of the arroyos on my property.
